yes usually gate 4 is a graveyard from mid meeting on as it’s on the racing line but with no outside line everybody was riding further in so made gate 4 the best gate

even when ripped up and redone the gates gate 4 was still the best one and berwick had a couple extra gate 4s in later stages of the meeting

you really can’t water a bare slick track with a blue groove would be like riding on ice

use it or lose it as the saying goes

no they have to use the declared team can’t change it even thou tom now rides

don’t think it would have mattered who wiped out a home rider the home fans are always going to criticise them no matter who it is

i was watching it from the pits ben cuts to the inside and passes him going into bend 3 before cookie could shut the door and if you see cookies line on bends 1/2 second lap he goes tight but doesn't have the drive out of the bend that’s why ben passed him but next lap cookie changes his line to try cut bens run but just goes straight into the side of him pretty sure it’s the same move that think it was Charles wright did to cookie at redcar last year

ben seen it just before he left the den then just pissed himself laughing walking out

can’t see Marcin either no riders out there really to change complin with when marcin and claus get new averages and the team ave goes up as can’t see any other riders ave drop you wouldn’t redeclare back to 42 so unless someone gets injured can’t see any changes really

when riders have had a good meeting and the tracks greasy and pretty much FTG and not a great chance for passing with the home team having gate choice i am pretty sure the riders would rather leave without a last place as their last ride especially claus and basso really bad losers just need to look at their chairs and tool boxes which usually take the kicking mind you Tom was pretty angry with himself after ht 15

neither ben or claus wanted ht 15 so tom stepped up

kye was there he was interviewed for speedway GB

cookies instagram shows him having a practice today so guess they managed to get one in before first meeting

what’s the chance of a rain off if they don’t get track time before friday

think there trying for a practice on Thursday

Marcin has brought over 2 full bikes top equipment as you would expect from a pole one new engine from ashtech made to suit most uk tracks and a softer one for the smaller slicker tracks he looked really good yesterday at practice day straight from the off along with the rest of the team they were all on track from 11.30 to around 4 i think claus looked impressive today trying different lines along with bomber having extra practice and think he could well put a few points on his 5 ave

pretty sure buying a full set of team suits will be cheaper deal than buying one , plus the makers want there suits being used and will give them a great deal for that, most clubs get the suits sponsored by a fan or company who pays for them and then gets the suit at the end of the season to keep so clubs don't really pay for them

shame no only got 5.21 to play with dillon 5.47 maybe get one off the names mentioned and hopefully someone’s ave drops by .26 after ave changes and bring dillon ruml in or maybe a new foreigner on accessed 5 plenty options

the mx bike only has speed settings

no clutch so maybe be at a disadvantage from the start the power on e-bikes is really on or off like a switch not really good for throttle control

surprised nobody mentioned Dillon ruml second year over here and has upped his ave to 5 .47

Dan Thomson would soon get to grips with the track after a few practices there great kid doesn’t say much just gets on with it

think they have now secured tyres and wooden boards in front of the armco fencing when speedway is on

Aussie boy must have some good backers coming from OZ to ride NL where points money is not great getting himself and his equipment over here a van accommodation doesn't come cheap good luck to the boy
